Summary:Magic is real, and hungry. It's trapped in ancient texts and artifacts. Some people let it out by accident, others do so with deliberate evil intent. Detective Sal Brooks, a survivor of such an incident, joins one of the Vatican's black-ops magic hunting teams -- derogatorily called Bookburners -- to save her brother from demonic possession. Sal and Team Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum will travel the world, fighting to keep the supernatural in check. Just remember: watch your back and don't touch anything.
